A good Recreation & Parks Commissioner must be passionate about serving the Ontario community and committed to advocating for improvements to the City’s recreation and park system. Recreation & Parks Commissioners must be available to attend major special events and engage with community members on how to improve the programming and amenities in the recreation and park system. Commissioners should be excited about the future growth of the city, challenge staff to enhance the recreation and park system, and advocate for resources to the Recreation/Community Services Department and Parks Department.
